And, what makes these times so jolly are the colored jokes. One of the most popular forms of home talent entertainment is the minstrel show. Darktown humor is the back-bone of the per- | formance. On the professionaL stage, the minstrel show no longer holds sway with oldtime fervor. But nearly all of us recall the jolly troupes headed by such popular en- tertainers as Lew Dockstader, Primrose and West, Honey Boy Evans, Eddie Leonard and others of like caliber. Now most of our col- ored humor is presented by black- faco comedians in vaudeville. Of course, darkie jokes always have a place in the current press. It is from this fleld that the editors of “Topics of the Day” Films glean the colored jokes screened in this joy-reel. Just imagine that the tn- terlocutor has said, “Gentlemen (and ladies) be seated,” and provide your own minstreal show by read- ing our octetté of darktown fun- nies. of + Her System.
